Staking out an RXL road
When staking out an RXL road, you can work from the map or from the menu.
If you select the road in the map and then tap Stakeout, the software always shows the plan view of the road. Select the item in the road to stake. From the plan view you can switch to the cross section view when required.
If you work from the menu, tap and select Stakeout / Stakeout roads and then select the road to stake out. The first time you select a road you are prompted to choose the method you use to select items to stake. The chosen method is used for all subsequent surveys. To change the selection method, tap the Options softkey when selecting the road.
You can select:
- Graphically to work from the plan or cross section view of the road to select what to stake.
- Traditional menu selection to work through the software menus to select what to stake and only see the plan or cross section view when navigating to the point.
All features are available with either selection method, with the following exceptions:
- You cannot stake out a side slope from an alignment when working graphically.
- You cannot stake out a skew offset using the traditional menu selection method.
- You cannot select a reference road when using the tradition menu selection method.
